Wednesday, April 4, 2012edmontonNews worth sharing.

Cody Taskila hasn’t been able to sleep since witness-ing a tragic crash that killed his friend and cost another his leg, as he sat helpless in the back seat.

He recalls the impact of a vehicle rear-ending their

broken-down car on High-way 11A early Saturday, as Tyson Vanderzwag and Colton Keeler pushed the vehicle he was in.

Keeler, 19, was killed and Vanderzwag, 17, remains in hospital in an induced coma.

“His brain is still pretty swollen and he had his one leg amputated,” Taskila said.

Another teen was in the vehicle, and a third outside, but they escaped serious in-jury.

Taskila remembers Keel-er, or “TB,” as “a father fig-ure.”

“I went to his house every day,” said Taskila. “He

was everybody’s dad.”The 2011 Lindsay Thur-

ber High School grad had planned to get an apart-ment.

“He knew what he was doing in life,” Taskila said.

Blackfalds RCMP Sgt. James Derouin said both vehicles saw “significant damage.”

April Gail Beauclair, 29, of Lacombe, is charged with six criminal offences, in-cluding impaired operation of a vehicle causing death.

Construction on Jasper Avenue near the Central LRT station, pictured here, begins this month, stretching well into 2013. HEATHER MCINTYRE/METRO

Construction work kicking o� on Jasper

Despite the short-term pain of construction, the execu-tive director of the Down-town Business Association is looking forward to a long-term gain on Jasper Avenue.

“It will be fantastic for the downtown,” Jim Taylor said Tuesday. “It is going to be a place instead of a

street.”Starting this month, Jas-

per Avenue between 100 and 102 Streets will be reduced to one lane each way while repair work is done on the Central LRT Station.

Construction will also see the median removed,

a shared turning lane and wider sidewalks — creating a more pedestrian-friendly environment, said Barry Belcourt, the city’s branch manager of roads design and construction.

The $44-million project is expected to be complete in

late 2013.“When you look at Jasper

Avenue, closing it really isn’t an option,” said Belcourt. “We will still maintain one lane in either direction.”

Gill Tataeb, owner of Crepe Symphony Café on Rice Howard Way, just north of Jasper Avenue, opened his restaurant three weeks ago.

“My big concern is ac-tually the pedestrian traffic getting reduced,” he said, noting the business lunch crowd will remain, but sum-mer construction could deter some customers. “It would be nice to have a patio.”

But despite being “so-so worried,” Tataeb is looking forward to the end result.

First phase. Parts of plan for Jasper Avenue fast-tracked to 2012-13 construction seasons

More details

• Starting this Saturday, more than 20 ETS buses will be rerouted from Jasper Avenue north to 102 Avenue between 100 and 103 Streets. For more information, call 311 or visit takeets.com.

• The Jasper Avenue New Vision Plan stretches from 97 Street to 111 Street, so this is only the fi rst phase, while others will be done as funding becomes available.

Roads

Quieter construction season ahead Despite construction season ramping up, there will be fewer detours on Edmonton’s streets this year.

After one of the busi-est construction periods in history last year, the city’s road work is slow-ing down.

In total, $122.9 mil-lion is being invested in 46 growth and special projects, including paving on arterial and collector roads, said Barry Belcourt, the city’s branch manager of roads design and construction.

That is compared with 150 projects in 2011, and with triple the budget, he added.

“In some areas of the city there was gridlock,” said Belcourt. “We shouldn’t see that this year.”

In contrast to previous years, 55 to 60 per cent of the work this year is geared towards rehabili-tation instead of growth.

“It isn’t that there’s not going to be growth, but it’s going to be a bal-ance,” said Belcourt.

Major areas of focus this year include: Central LRT Station and Jasper Avenue streetscape; Grierson Road Bridge over McDougall/Scona Road and MacDonald Drive pedestrian over-pass; Whitemud Drive/17 Street interchange; 97 Street from Yellowhead Trail to 137 Avenue; and Anthony Henday Drive connectors at both 137 Avenue (170 Street) and 66 Street (167 Avenue to 195 Avenue).

Belcourt said there may be road closures in some spots for a few days at a time, but nothing major.

Provincial PC leader Alison Redford tries on a hat as members of Medicine Hat’s Red Hat Society look on in Medicine Hat on Tuesday. Redford says she is worried Smith’s plan will lead to deep cuts to core services. ian sorensen/The canadian press

Alberta Wildrose leader Dan-ielle Smith is challenging op-ponents who don’t like her “Dani-dollars” petro-giveback to explain how they’ll use any future budget surpluses.

“Once you start having sur-pluses, you have to have some kind of idea what you want to do with those surpluses,” Smith said Tuesday.

Smith defended her prom-ise to rebate an anticipated

$300 to Albertans, a portion of future budget surpluses.

Opponents have ridiculed the idea, which is actually pat-terned on a $400-a-head rebate under former Progressive Con-servative premier Ralph Klein in 2005.

Premier Alison Redford noted that Wildrose is already promising to balance the budget and grow the Heritage Savings Trust Fund while not

hiking taxes, not increasing oil royalties and returning money to parents for school fees, sports, and arts programs.

Redford has said she fears it will result in deep cuts to core services in education and health programs.

NDP Leader Brian Mason agreed with Redford, adding that Wildrose can’t keep its commitment if it doesn’t raise royalties on the oilsands.

“The Wildrose numbers just don’t add up,” Mason told a news conference in Edmonton to release his party’s fiscal plan. “They will have to cut services that we all need to buy votes now.” the canadian press

Alberta Wildrose Leader Dan-ielle Smith says her party does not have a gag order on candi-dates talking to media.

Answering a question from a reporter in Leduc, Smith says there is a policy in place to have candidates call head office

before talking to a reporter.But she says that’s just to

make sure everyone is on the same page and that no inaccur-ate information is relayed to the media.

Smith says it just makes sense given that a lot of her can-

didates have had very little ex-perience talking to the media.

She adds that it’s a badge of honour that her candidates are new to public life, say-ing it reflects the fresh start that her party is trumpeting. the canadian press

Fighter jet funding frozen after auditor general report The Harper government froze spending Tuesday on the multi-billion-dollar plan to buy new jet fighters min-utes after the auditor general produced a withering report accusing the Department of National Defence of keeping Parliament in the dark about spiralling problems with the F-35 purchase.

The government also an-nounced it would take away DND’s ability to buy new weapons systems and hand it to Public Works — all in an effort to shield itself from the ensuing assault in the House of Commons that followed the release of the report by new Auditor General Michael Ferguson.

The Defence Department faced wide-ranging scorn over its management of the a plan to buy 65 new F-35 radar-evading stealth fighters for what the military initially insisted would cost $9 billion.

The cost of the purchase, which is already the largest single purchase of military hardware in Canadian his-

tory, will almost certainly be far higher than originally budgeted, Ferguson said.

He added that Public Works should have done a better job of overseeing the purchase, but Ferguson was particularly scathing about DND’s failure to come clean on potential problems with buying the F-35.

“Briefing material did not inform senior decision mak-ers, central agencies, and the Minister of the problems and associated risks of relying on the F-35 to replace the CF-18,” Ferguson said in his report. “Nor did National Defence provide complete cost infor-mation to parliamentarians.”

DND pointedly rejected

criticism that it did not exer-cise due diligence in manag-ing the project.

The auditor general’s criti-cism does not mean the gov-ernment will scrap the F-35 purchase or even consider opening up the sole-source procurement to other com-petitive bids.the canadian press

transgender model calls on trump to fight discrimination

Embattled transgender beauty Jenna Talackova says the deci-sion to allow her compete in the Miss Universe Canada pageant is only skin deep.

In a statement issued late Monday, the organization seem-ingly reversed its earlier deci-sion to disqualify the 23-year-old Vancouver model from the com-petition, “provided she meets the legal gender recognition re-quirements of Canada, and the standards established by other international competitions.”

Talackova was disqualified March 23 on the grounds that

she did not meet the pageant’s requirement contestants be “natural born” female — a rule her lawyer Gloria Allred called “blatant discrimination” at a Los Angeles news conference Tuesday. Talackova called on Miss Universe owner and real estate mogul Donald Trump to be a leader in the fight against

discrimination.“I also want Mr. Trump to

clearly state that this rule will be eliminated, because I do not want any other woman to suffer the discrimination that I have to endure,” said Talackova.

Talackova said she is still not sure where she stands with the pageant.

Free my grapes

wine lovers hope to quash 1928 law

“Free my grapes” was the rallying cry on Parliament Hill on Tuesday as a com-mittee heard from support-ers of a private member’s bill seeking to erase a 1928 rule that restricts individ-uals from bringing wine across provincial borders.

Shirley-Ann George ran into that problem when she was visiting B.C. and then tried to join a wine club through a vineyard there, only to be told the vineyard couldn’t ship to her home in Ontario. She decided to start up the Alliance of Canadian Wine Consumers to try to change it.

“You’ve got to be kid-ding,” is the most common refrain from people first learning about the rule, George said in an interview.

Bill C-311, which would amend the Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act, was introduced in the House of Commons last fall by B.C. Tory MP Dan Albas.

While Albas doesn’t drink, he said the issue came up frequently during the 2011 election cam-paign.the canadian press

seized. Bear cub taken to zoo while fate decidedConservation officials have seized a black bear cub res-cued and taken home last month by a man in southern Manitoba.

Makoon, who has become a bit of a celebrity in southern Manitoba, is now biding his time at the Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg while govern-ment officials try to find him a new home in Ontario.

“I feel like crying,” Rene Dubois said Tuesday afternoon, after a conservation officer and a biologist came to his house in St. Malo and loaded the cub up in a cage.

The 63-year-old said he was told he can’t visit the bear at the zoo but was given a phone

number to call so he could check on his condition.

Dubois said it was a heart-wrenching goodbye that he wasn’t prepared for, but he’s glad the cub is going to a place where he’ll be well taken care of.

“At least he’ll have a chance,” Dubois said.

The retired construction worker found the bear March 25 starving in a ditch along the highway outside of St. Malo, a community about 70 kilo-metres south of Winnipeg.

He and his wife have been nursing him back to health, feeding him milk and formula from a baby bottle, honey and fruit. the canadian press

Troops returning to bases: Syria

Syrian troops began pulling out Tuesday from some calm cities and headed back to their bases a week ahead of a deadline to implement an international ceasefire plan, a government official said.

The claim could not im-mediately be verified and activ-ists near the capital Damascus denied troops were leaving their area. They said the day regime forces withdraw from streets, Syria will witness mas-sive protests that will over-throw the government.

“Forces began withdrawing to outside calm cities and are returning to their bases, while in tense areas, they are pulling out to the outskirts,” the gov-ernment official said in Damas-cus, without saying when the withdrawal began. He spoke on condition of anonymity be-cause he was not authorized to talk to the media.

President Bashar Assad agreed just days ago to an April 10 deadline to implement

international envoy Kofi An-nan’s truce plan. It requires re-gime forces to withdraw from towns and cities and observe a ceasefire. Rebel fighters are to immediately follow by ceasing violence.

Khaled al-Omar, an activ-

ist in the Damascus suburb of Saqba, denied that any withdrawal was underway in his area.

“This is impossible. I can see a checkpoint from my win-dow,” he said via Skype. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Looking for someone to take you out on the town? Fly you around the world and pamper you every chance they get? Your best chance of finding that is in Toronto.

A recent five-year study shows that Toronto has the highest number of sugar daddies per capita than any other city in Canada. Calgary came in second, according to the study, while Vancouver placed third.

Seekingarrangement.com,

an online dating site that pairs wealthy men and women with those interested in dat-ing them, conducted the study with data from the Canadian census.

So what is a sugar daddy? The Oxford English Diction-ary defines it as “a rich older man who lavishes gifts on a young woman in return for her company or sexual fa-vours.”

Brandon Wade, founder and CEO of the website be-hind the study, says the negative stereotypes sur-rounding sugar daddies aren’t true.

“If you look at the stats, sugar daddies are in their late 30s, early 40s,” says Wade. “Despite the stereo-type, the real sugar daddy is much younger, very gener-ous and wealthy.”

Wade claims women want to be spoiled and pam-pered. Using a site like his is a way for women to dif-

ferentiate the unemployed, lazy men from the wealthy men out there.

And wealthy they are. Wade says the average sugar daddy is worth between four and five million dollars, and has an annual income of about $200,000. Women are lining up for a sugar daddy, with 10 women for every one daddy.

“People might ask, ‘Doesn’t he just want sex?’ All men at the end of the day want sex,” says Wade.

Five-year study. Edmonton places fifth in number of sugar daddies per capita, just ahead of Ottawa

Edmonton’s numbers

How many are married?

38.9The percentage of Canadian sugar dad-dies who are married. Brandon wade says that married sugar daddies are often in a sexless marriage and the financial ramifications of a divorce make for a sticky situation. Most wives have no idea their husband is a sugar daddy.

Gunman was taunted before brutal killing spree: Police

A nursing student expelled from a small Christian uni-versity and upset about being teased over his poor English skills opened fire at the school, going from room to room in a rampage that left six students and a secretary dead, police said Tuesday.

One L. Goh, 43, forced the secretary into a classroom at Oikos University in Oakland, Calif. on Monday, told people to line up and, when some didn’t co-operate, began his shooting spree, police Chief Howard Jordan said.

“It’s very, very sad,” Jor-dan said. “We have seven people who didn’t deserve to die and three others wound-ed because (of ) someone who couldn’t deal with the pres-sures of life.”

Goh, a South Korea native who became a U.S. citizen, was expelled in January for behavioural problems from the small private school of fewer than 100 students, Jordan said. The chief said Goh had anger-management issues with other students.

Jordan said Goh appeared to have been planning the at-tack for several weeks.

Goh was upset with ad-ministrators and several stu-dents at the college, which an official said offered class-es in Korean and English and was founded to help Korean immigrants adjust to a new country and find careers in nursing and ministry.

“They disrespected him, laughed at him,” Jordan said. “They made fun of his lack of English-speaking skills.”

Jordan said Goh tried to find a female administrator Monday and began shooting when he learned she wasn’t there. The victims, who range in age from 21 to 40, were from various countries, including Nigeria, Nepal and the Philippines.The associaTed Press

Alone in the cockpit

elderly passenger lands runaway plane safelyAn elderly woman took con-trol of a small plane from her unconscious husband that was dangerously low on fuel and landed it on a runway at a small north-eastern Wisconsin airport, the facility’s director said Tuesday.

Helen Collins, 80, had

some flight training years ago but was not familiar with the controls of the Cessna twin-engine plane on Monday evening when her husband passed out, said Keith Kasbohm, direc-tor of Cherryland Airport near Sturgeon Bay.

Another pilot took to the skies to guide Collins to the ground, but she had to land the aircraft herself.

“She was on her last at-tempt to get lined up with the runway,” Kasbohm said. “She reported one engine was sputtering on that last attempt to land. We were

all watching and knew she had to do it.”

Collins’ 81-year-old hus-band, John, was later pro-nounced dead at a hospital.

Helen Collins had called 911 from the Cessna, prompting air-traffic con-trollers in Green Bay to alert Kasbohm.

“The first thing I thought of is ‘We have to find some-one to help talk this woman down,’” he said.

Kasbohm called Robert Vuksanovic, a pilot who lived just a mile from the airport.

Vuksanovic jumped in

another plane owned by the Collins and flew up to meet the Cessna while in-structing the novice on the radio.

Kasbohm described Col-lins as “cool, calm and col-lected on the radio” as the aircraft made a hard land-ing and skidded about 1,000 feet before coming to rest.

“She must have flown around here about 10 times,” said Torry Lauten-bach, whose property is next to the airport. “She did a really good job (landing the plane). It was amazing.” The associaTed Press

Brewery bought

Molson Coors acquires starbevMolson Coors is looking to offset declining North American beer demand by acquiring leading Central and Eastern European beer maker StarBev for $3.5 bil-lion US.

The deal will add nine breweries and 4,100 employ-ees in several countries to Molson Coors, and should offer the company better growth opportunities in the beer-friendly European market. the canadian press

Canada’s bankers want to apply the brakes on sweeping new regulations being forced on them as a result of the 2008 financial collapse, pos-sibly putting them on a colli-sion course with the govern-ment and the Bank of Canada.

Canadian Bankers Asso-ciation president Terry Camp-bell surprised a luncheon of policy-makers and industry executives Tuesday with a call for Ottawa to call a push the pause button on future reforms.

“We are facing the biggest regulatory implementation exercise the Canadian bank-

ing industry has ever under-gone, and it is not done yet,” he said.

“I think it would be useful for the federal government to hit the ‘pause’ button.”

Commons finance com-mittee chair James Rajotte, a Conservative MP from Al-berta, seemed surprised by

the appeal, but said after-wards if bankers have con-cerns, “we will certainly lis-ten.”

The proposal puts the private sector banks poten-tially in conflict with Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, who as head of the Swiss-based Financial Stabil-ity Board has been a lead-ing proponent of the reform process and has had little patience with what he has called “back-sliding.”

In recent interviews, Car-ney has said policy-makers are open to working with stakeholders about the end game of reforms, but ap-peared to dismiss notions of halting the process.

He insisted Canada’s bank-ing community is not op-posed to stiffer regulations, including more capital re-quirements, that have already been approved.the canadian press

Bankers call for moratorium on proposed reforms

Insurance issues

• The Canadian Life and Health Insurance Asso-ciation said Tuesday that one-third of companies polled for it recently by Leger Marketing indicated they would drop their drug coverage if premiums jumped by 25 per cent or more.

• The association says 100 per cent of the carriers that offer supplementary drug coverage have com-mitted to the setting up a joint industry pool that will spread the costs for very large, recurrent prescrip-tion drug claims.

insurers to pool risks from high-priced drug costsA group of 23 Canadian insur-ance companies has come up with a plan to spread out the expense of high-priced drug treatments — a move they say will shelter Canadians from the risk of losing employer-sponsored coverage due to cost.

The Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association says the insurers are trying to avoid a situation where em-ployers face a sharp jump in premiums due to big claims

for extremely expensive drugs.

To do so, the industry is developing a pooled system of coverage that will allow in-surers to exclude the cost of certain high-cost drugs when setting premiums charged to employers.

“It is the industry’s view that no Canadian should face the prospect of losing their drug coverage due to rare but very expensive drugs costs,” Frank Swedlove, the associa-

tion’s president, said Tuesday.Decisions about whether

to cover a particular drug are up to the employers spon-soring the plan but cost is often an important factor in their decisions when deciding the extent of the coverage.

According to the associa-tion, certain drug treatments — typically for genetic en-zyme disorders, cancer treat-ments and auto-immune dis-orders — can cost more than $50,000 per year per patient.

Swedlove called the pro-posal a “win-win scenario,” noting:

“Employers get a more financially sustainable drug plan, employees benefit as they will continue to receive coverage from their employ-er plans even in the face of a high-cost drug claim, and insurers are able to spread the cost of high-cost claims amongst the participating companies.”the canadian press

Managing the market

• He also said regulations are so complex and require so many resour-ces for compliance that they could drive smaller financial institutions out of the market, resulting in less competition.

riM shares down on news of patent lawsuitShares in Research in Motion were down almost 10 per cent Tuesday amid news that Black-Berry maker is being sued by a Dutch chipmaker for alleged patent infringement involving some of its smartphones.

Dutch semi-conductor company NXP confirmed that it’s suing RIM for allegedly

infringing on six patents by selling certain smartphone models.

Also on Tuesday, the Black-Berry maker said it will open up its secure network for workplaces that use iPhones

and other mobile devices. The move is intended to en-courage enterprise customers to stick with its services, even if they gravitate away from the BlackBerry smartphone itself. the canadian press

Those darn space rocks

pulling pranks, again

The end is near.Now that I’ve got your atten-

tion, it’s more like a near-miss.On April 1, an asteroid the

size of a 747 missed slamming into Earth at roughly 48,000

km/h when it zipped between the Earth and the moon, the cosmic equivalent of a hair’s breadth.

Even though it happened on April Fool’s Day, I’m not foolin’.

And as I write, there’s another one coming.If you’re reading this, we’ve dodged a bullet called 2012

FA57, which was scheduled to fly past the neighbourhood just beyond the orbit of the moon … today.

It turns out these giant space rocks are whizzing around our heads all the time. The April Fool asteroid followed in the wake

of one the size of a school bus and another the size of a car last week. They may be relatively small, but their size makes them no less scary.

According to Marshall Brain of HowStuffWorks, if an asteroid the size of a house crashed into the planet, it would have the energy of a bomb equivalent to the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima. A 747-sized rock

is bigger than a house and would have the impact of a much, much larger H-bomb.

Grim news. And you have to believe stuff that comes from a guy named Marshall Brain.

These so-called little shots are tricky, precisely because they are small enough to elude detection until it’s too late to do any-thing about them. But they are nothing compared to the threat of Apophis, which is scheduled to narrowly miss Earth on — get this — Friday the 13th, 2029. Apophis is named after the Egyptian god of darkness and chaos, one bad dude. A direct hit would unleash the energy of 65,000 nukes, according to NASA.

And if it misses on Friday the 13th, 2029, it gets another chance exactly seven years later on a Friday the 13th, 2036!

So the end could indeed be near. Admittedly, it’s a long shot, but at one in 48,000 it’s still greater than your chance of getting killed in a plane crash, which is one in 355,000.

Fortunately, there a stalwart band of scientists at NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program who do nothing but watch the skies. They can see Apophis coming a long way off because it’s 320 metres across. But they didn’t discover the one that just missed until March 13, which is too late, baby. It will take two years to mount an effort to discourage an asteroid from bury-ing its head into the bosom of Mother Earth.

So, that guy in the cartoon with “Repent! The End is Near!” sign and the haunted look? He’s not so far off the beam.

Good thing you’ve led a blameless life to date, so there’s nothing to worry about.

Superstitious?

And if it misses on Friday the 13th, 2029, it gets another chance exactly seven years later on Friday the 13th, 2036!

Does former RiM chief Jim Balsillie’s retiring make you more optimistic about the BlackBerry maker?

Why we love the Stones

As many wonder how Keith Richards has even lived this long, we give you 15 reasons to love the Stones, the band that’s existed for half a cen-tury.

1. Jagger/Richards: It really all comes down to this: It’s an art-istic tug-of-war between words (Mick) and music (Keef), sex (Mick) and drugs (Keef), and every negative/positive charge that this songwriting partner-ship represents.

2. Brian Jones: By all accounts

Jones founded and named the band, though the role of the second guitarist and multi-in-strumentalist diminished pro-gressively as he got more into drugs and less into fame. Mick and Keith fired him in June of 1969 and a month later he was found dead at the bottom of his swimming pool, only add-ing to the dark, mysterious aura of the Stones.

3. Charlie Watts: The drummer with the stoic face has not only been keeping the beat for the band for 50 years, but he has reportedly been keeping the faith with his wife of 47 years. Only after seeing the multiple dirty documentaries of the Stones’ 1970s tours, does one realize how amazing this ac-complishment is.

4. Mick Taylor: The guitarist joined the band at age 20 in 1969 and was only a Rolling Stone for five years and six albums, a period which was arguably the band’s best.

5. Ronnie Wood: After serving as Rod Stewart’s foil in The Faces, he replaced Taylor in 1975. He is the longest-reigning second guitarist, and the guitarist who looks the second-best with a guitar hanging on his bottom lip.

6. Bill Wyman: No, he was never smiling when the cam-era zoomed in on him in the videos, but there’s something so weirdly likable about Wy-man as the bassist.

7. Darryl Jones: Jones came on the scene almost 20 years ago (!) Yes, it’s been that long since Bill Wyman left the band.

8. Anybody else who has ever played with the band: The Stones

knew how to bring in guests, from the London Bach Choir on You Can’t Always Get What You Want to Merry Clayton’s killer singing on Gimme Shel-ter to sax man Bobby Keys on Exile on Main Street to the fre-quent keyboard guest spots by Billy Preston, Nicky Hopkins and Ian Stewart.

10. The name: No, it didn’t come from Dylan’s Like a Roll-ing Stone, although the guys did record that song in the ’90s. It came from Muddy Wat-ers’ 1950 song, Rollin’ Stone.

11. The logo: Whether or not it’s based on Mick’s mouth doesn’t matter. It’s red and juicy and it has absolutely nothing to do with a stone that’s rolling, but it has every-thing to do with rock ‘n’ roll.

12. Andrew Loog Oldham: If it weren’t for the Stones’ man-ager and producer in the early years, the Stones might have stayed a relatively clean cut

wannabe Beatles act.

13. (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction:Keef historically recorded this guitar figure before passing out, and went back to listen the next day and amongst the documents of his snoring, heard this amazing elemen-tary riff.

14. The comma in the title, Paint It, Black

15. Ruby Tuesday: Try to forget that it’s the name of an Amer-ican chain restaurant and listen to the song like it’s the first time you’ve ever heard it. Holy amazingness! That buzz-ing cello, that bassy tuba, the beautiful recorder, the deep low notes that Mick hits in the verses!

As the 100th anniversary of the ill-fated maiden voyage of the Titanic approaches, there are no shortages of cinematic ways to pay tribute to one of the most famous disasters of the 20th century. This weekend, James Cameron’s Titanic sets sail again in theatres, this voyage in 3D. The story of Jack and Rose and their unsinkable love may be the best known of all the big boat movies, but it isn’t the only one.

The first films about the sinking were made within a year of the event; 1912 saw three 10-minute films re-leased to quench audience’s

thirst for Titanic news. The most famous of the movies featured an actual Titanic survivor.

Saved from the Titanic starred Dorothy Gibson, an actress who was also a first class passenger on the ship. Premiering on May 14, 1912, (just 29 days after the Titan-ic sank) the movie has Ms. Gibson recalling her experi-ences as a passenger, while wearing the same dress she had worn when the ship went down.

Cut to 1929. British Inter-national Pictures was forced to release their epic film on the Titanic under the name The Atlantic when White Star Line threatened legal action. Seems the Titanic’s owner was actively trying to dissuade producers from

cashing in on the Titanic dis-aster.

The next mention of the doomed ship on film came in 1933 in the best picture win-ner Cavalcade. In its most famous scene, newlyweds embark on their honeymoon cruise. Standing on the deck they discuss their plans as the ship pulls out of dock. Soon it’s revealed they’re standing in front of a life preserver embossed with the name Titanic.

Best of the bunch are Ti-tanic, an all-star docu-drama headlined by Barbara Stan-wyck and Robert Wagner, that debuted on April 14, 1953, exactly 41 years after the disaster and A Night to Remember, which is still re-garded as the most accurate of all the Titanic films.

Levi’s johnson does it again

Levi Johnston, a high-school drop out who is famous for knocking up someone kind of famous from an infam-ous political family, is using his super sperm to get back into the news cycle.

It was announced yes-terday that the 21-year-old is expecting a baby with

his Wasilla, Alaska school teacher girlfriend, Sunny Oglesby, 20.

TMZ.com reports that Oglesby is only around three-months pregnant and that Johnston is “so excited” about having a new baby out of wedlock.

This is most likely be-cause Bristol Palin (along with her mom and dad) haven’t been too accom-modating about seeing his son Tripp.

I know Alaska is re-mote, but if Sarah Palin could see Russia from her house, how hard could it be for Johnston to spot a stack of Trojans at the Rite Aid?

Russell Brand was apparent-ly serious when he said he didn’t want anything from Katy Perry in their divorce, as the British comedian has reportedly given Perry all the rights to the $6.5 mil-lion Hollywood Hills home they purchased while mar-ried, according to TMZ.

“It’s all part of the prop-

erty settlement agreed be-tween Russell and Katy,” a source says of their di-vorce proceedings.

Perry and Brand snatched up the eight-bedroom, nine-bathroom home six months before Brand filed for divorce.

They had not signed a prenuptial agreement.

Ashton Kutcher buys house before Bieber can

Ashton Kutcher has been enjoying his rented Holly-wood Hills bachelor pad so much that he decided to buy it, according to TMZ.

So what spurred on the sudden decision?

Competition from Justin Bieber, who was reportedly eyeing the $10.8 million

property. “I had to buy the house

because I thought he was going to buy it out from under me,” Ashton jokes during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel.

“I was like, ‘I don’t want to lose this house.’ He forced me to buy a house.”

Rihanna looks to playWhitney Houston in biopic

Rihanna has her sights set on the role of a lifetime: playing Whitney Houston in a biopic about the late singer.

“That would be some-thing that I would have to give my entire life to do, because I would really want to pull it off,” she tells the Press Association. “My first song that I remember falling in love with was a Whitney Houston song: I Will Always Love You.

It was really inspiring, and it made me develop a pas-sion for music, so really, she’s partly responsible for me being here in this indus-try.”

Of course, first there needs to be a movie to star in, and while producer Clive Davis was reportedly put-ting one together, his rep has shot down that rumor, saying, “There is no truth to this. Clive is not putting together a biopic.”

Readevery Thursday.

The traveller of today

The environmentWho said you were a thoughtless, tech-crazed urbanite? Although your number one answer when asked about your travel atti-tudes was “vacations to me mean doing nothing and re-laxing,” a close number two was that you take actions to “reduce the environmental impact” of your travelling.

Here’s an idea: Choose a holiday with a difference. Why not travel to Costa Rica where you can surf, eat cheap sushi and save sea turtles? If you’re more of a passive environment-alist, reduce your carbon footprint by making small changes like taking a train rather than a plane or stay-ing in an eco resort and not

a big chain hotel. For more ideas head to ecotourism.org.

The webThere’s a reason why half the travel agents in your neighbourhood have closed. More than half of you de-cide on a destination after having looked it up on the Internet. From there, 81 per cent will go on to plan their itinerary online.

Here’s an idea: By now, you probably know what travel site offers the best fares, but we’re partial to bing.com — a site we gener-ally ignore. Their Farecaster technology predicts if a flight’s cost may go up or down in a coming month.

Special offersAlthough 34 per cent of those polled planned their summer vacation up to three months in advance, for many it’s a last-minute decision based on what spe-cial offer is available at the time. Travel cost is a ma-jor issue (98 per cent con-sidered it ‘very important’) but package deals allow you to leave with a set budget. Aside from the odd gift or splurge, you shouldn’t

spend more than planned.

Here’s an idea: Sign up for daily email alerts from websites that sell discount deals such as Groupon or Living Social or Save My Day (brought to you by Met-ro). Offers include anything from a cruise in the Medi-terranean to a wine tast-ing in South Africa — often with spaces to fill.

City and SunshineAll it seems readers want (well, 63 per cent of them) is sunshine and access to a beach. This doesn’t mean

they want to shut them-selves off from the world on a desert island — 30 per cent can’t bear to be away from the city for too long.

Here’s an idea: Put two

and two together and travel to a sunny city on the coast. Istanbul, Cannes, Barcelona or Los Angeles — these are all cosmopolitan cities blessed with sunny weather and beautiful beaches.

Poll. In Metro’s worldwide survey, we asked you what’s important when on vacation and here’s what we found out

The most important aspect of a vacation for our readers is the ability to ‘do nothing and relax.’

have dropped 12 per cent since 2010, making the

country’s capital Reykjavik an “affordable European hot spot,” says Travel and

Leisure magazine. “Iceland’s price points aren’t at their rock-bottom 2008 levels, but they’re still low,” says the magazine. Icelandair resumed seasonal service from Canada on March 28,

with four flights a week from Toronto to Reykjavik until November. Seasonal

flights from Halifax resume June 7 with up to three flights weekly through

October. The city is among several European destina-

tions that Travel and Leisure deems “affordable” due

to lower prices for hotels, meals or other expenses. The list includes Berlin,

Getting chummy with sand sharks in the Bahamas

Radio Abaco is the lone station on this sun-drenched north-western swath of the Bahamian archipelago with reception as gin clear as the invitingly warm waters.

The hosts are having a spirited debate on the merits of sweethearting, the colloquial expression for the practice of married men keeping another woman on the side.

“You’re not having an affair, you have a sweetheart,” ex-plains my guide Ambrose. “It’s infamous here. Men go to work and when they get paid they divvy up what is for their wife and family and to take care of the bills and such and then

what is for the sweetheart, so he has two homes.”

The philandering food for thought creates a people-watching guessing game ‘wife or sweetheart’ while ferrying to Elbow Cay to visit Abaco’s candy-striped lighthouse and touring Hope Town, a charm-ing outpost settled by British loyalists following the Amer-ican Revolution. Among the colourful abodes is the Wyan-nie Malone Museum, well worth popping in to soak up some island history. After mis-

sing an afternoon ferry back to Marsh Harbour we joke that we might as well go trolling for sweethearts while waiting an hour for the next boat to arrive.

The next morning, a chase is definitely on, albeit one with much fewer moral repercus-sions. After a 20-minute ride from Green Turtle Cay skipped by Lincoln Jones, the proprietor of Lincoln’s Island Adventures, we baited our hooks with a chopped up minnow and went fishing for yellow-tailed snap-per. I got lucky with my virgin

cast. After a spirited fight that nearly jerked me overboard, I reel her in, free her of the hook and toss her into the well. Be-fore we drop anchor at Mun-jack Cay for lunch I’ll catch three more.

I saunter down the bleach-white sands and wade into knee-depth waters to examine the dozen-odd orangey starfish speckling the ocean’s floor. Braver members of our party feed fish scraps to the nearby sand sharks. Meanwhile Lin-coln and his son Marcus cook up our catch, which we wash down with Kalik beer and a jug of pre-mixed Goombay Smash cocktails.

Quick tip

• Eat. The Bahamian Isle is famous for its abundance of conch. Try conch salad, a cerviche preparation, garnished with tomatoes and cucumbers as well as cracked conch, conch soup, conch fritters and conch sashimi.

The Easter-long weekend is fast approaching and what does that mean?

Scavenger hunts, egg painting, bunny appear-ances, chocolate (too much chocolate) and of course, the big family dinner.

In keeping with the spir-it of a holiday steeped in fun traditions, Inniskillin Wines and Chef Lynn Craw-ford created a long-week-end menu that packs just as much playfulness.

“This menu was import-ant to me because Easter dinner has been a long-standing tradition in the Crawford family, and so has Easter brunch. I wanted to create something that was reminiscent of home. After all, that’s what this week-end is all about — cooking, eating, and enjoying great company,” says Crawford.

This ham pairs perfect with Riesling or Pinot Noir.

1. Preheat the oven to 300 F.

2. Put the ham in a large

roasting pan, skin side up. Using a sharp knife, score the ham with cuts across the skin, about 2-inches apart and 1/2-inch deep. Cut diagonally down the slashes to form a diamond pattern.

3. Season the ham gener-ously with salt and pepper. Mix the herbs, mustard and oil to make a paste. Rub the herb mixture over the ham, being sure to get the flavour into all the slits. Bake the ham for 2 hours.

4. For the glaze, place a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chunks of butter, apples, shallots, gar-lic apple juice, brown sugar, water, and spices. Slowly cook the liquid down to a chunky, syrupy glaze, about 40 to 50 minutes.

5. Pour the apple mustard glaze over the ham and con-tinue to cook for about 1 1/2 hours, basting with the juices every 30 minutes. Set the ham on a cutting board to rest before carving.

4. Meanwhile in a separ-ate pan, over low heat, melt the butter and then add the flour. Stir together and cook the roux without browning for about 3 minutes. Re-move from heat.

5. When the milk is hot, pour some into the roux, stirring until the milk is thoroughly blended in. Re-turn this to the remaining milk, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequent-ly.

6. Add the mustard and sea-son with salt and pepper. Remove the onion, bay leafs and cloves. Add 2 cups of cheese and continue cook-ing, over low heat, stirring, until cheese is melted.

• Research the causes or issues that are important to you: Find or create an organization that focuses on issues you’re passionate about.

• Consider the skills you have to offer: Share skills that you use all day at work or that you have gained from a hobby or other experiences. Organ-izations requiring volunteers usually offer some training, but excessive training is costly and defeats the purpose of hir-ing volunteers.

• Seek opportunities where you can learn something new: This can be exciting, reward-ing, and good for career de-velopment.

• Combine your goals: Look for volunteer opportunities

that will also help you achieve your other goals for your life, whether personal or profes-sional.

• Don’t over-commit your schedule: Be up front about how many hours you can com-

mit to the organization. You don’t want to frustrate the organization or overwhelm yourself.

Applications and interviews are good thingsYou might be interviewed and

expected to fill out an applica-tion, just like for a job. This is done to match you to tasks based on your skills and to en-sure that you’re committed.

It’s probably a good thing that an organization does this, so don’t let it scare you away.

You are much more likely to find a meaningful volunteer position at an organization that puts time and planning into hiring their volunteers.

Questions

What to ask an organiza-tion you are interested in volunteering for:

• Will you have to sign a liability release form so that the organization is not liable for any accidents you might have? This is especially important if you will be driving.

• How many hours will you be expected to commit each week?

• How long will your train-ing be?

• Is there a time commit-ment in terms of months?

• Will you need a police check?

Student Voice

Give a little, get a littleheather MundleRecent graduate from Carleton University’s mass communications program and Algonquin College’s public relations program. TalentEgg.ca

The summer search for jobs is something all of us students are facing right now. It’s April and most of us are getting squirmy for when the next big break is going to come.

As a public relations stu-dent and graduate, I have learned that opportunities are not just thrown at you; you need to search them out for yourself and be will-ing to jump quickly into a new venture.

After attending Carleton University for a Bachelor of Arts in mass communica-tions, I went with leaps and bounds to Algonquin College for public rela-tions. The combination of university taught me how to think while the practical, hands-on experience of the college setting is a push in the right direction toward a career.

At Algonquin, I also learned the value of volun-teering and sharing your experience with others. I made volunteering my only job where I have tried out public relations, market-ing work, event planning and social media work. It is

so great to lend a helping hand, gain some valuable experience and meet some wonderful friends and men-tors along the way.

I think that in the uni-versity setting there needs to be more of a focus on volunteering in the com-munity. It is one of the best ways to learn more about your field of study in a real world setting instead of asking yourself, “Now what am I going to do with this degree?”

Volunteering allows you to test out an area of inter-est before you are ready to make the big leap from student to career.

There is also one other small tidbit of advice I have received from a few differ-ent mentors I have become close with through volun-teering: Follow up! Follow up! Follow up! It is one of the most important things that any young budding professional can do.

The million dollar idea. Student group making a difference, differentlyHumanitarian organizations are well represented on univer-sity campuses, but Students Of-fering Support (SOS) says it has a different approach to “mak-ing a difference” — a model that has now proven to be a million-dollar idea.

“[SOS] is a unique use of entrepreneurial principles in the charitable giving sector,” says Greg Overholt, the organ-ization’s founder and executive director.

The charity provides stu-dents with exam preparation sessions and resources for a small fee and then uses the proceeds to fund access to edu-cation projects in Latin Amer-ica, which SOS volunteers put in place. The structure of SOS “closes the loop,” says Overholt, “paying it forward in a way that supports education not just locally but globally.”

And paying it forward has paid off for this student-based

organization. Seven years after its inception, SOS is predicted to raise its millionth dollar this year.

Despite this milestone, SOS is not solely about raising funds, according to University of Waterloo student Joanne Toporowski. “It’s not just about getting money and going over-seas,” she says, “but the way they raise money is also help-ing here.”

Toporowski works as a volunteer tutor, running SOS Exam-AID sessions for account-ing classes at the University of Waterloo. These sessions occur one or two days before an exam and provide students with a review session, practice prob-lems, sample tests, solutions, and take-home package — all generated by student volun-teers.IShanI naTh IS a MaSTer of JournalISM STudenT aT ryerSon unIverSITy.

I have a secret desire to be a music technician. Yeah, a sound engineer. The person who slides the faders up and down in the recording studio.

So now that I’ve gradu-ated I figured I’d have noth-ing to lose if I signed up for an information session at my nearby college radio station. Exploring your pipe dream is one of many reasons to re-think volunteering.

Get some practiceIf you can’t get paid to do what you want, do it for free until you can find a pay-ing job in your field. Most people who get stuck in job search mode get really good at writing cover letters and interviewing, but once you’re hired, you’ll need to be ready with the skills your employer actually hired you for.

Learn a new skillAnother “three years experi-ence wanted” and you’ll be just about ready to jump off the nearest cliff, right? If you don’t have the requisite ex-perience for a job you want, volunteering is a great way to get your hands dirty and hone your skills.

Meet new people

Need I say more? When you’re on the hunt for new prospects, the best thing you can do is expose yourself to new people in new situations. Job referrals often come from unexpected sources, so take the opportunity to chat up your superiors and fellow volunteers.

You never know when or where you’ll meet that new

business contact, friend or partner.

Take a breakFrustrated by the job search? Volunteering for a few hours each week gives you the chance to get away from the stress of job hunting. It boils down to helping yourself — in more than one way — by helping someone else.

Have something to talk about even if you’re unem-ployed

This is by far my favourite reason for volunteering. It’s not easy to find your way in the world as a new grad. It’s even harder when you feel like you spend every last minute of every day obsess-ing about the next job pros-pect.

When you’re in this pos-ition, it’s difficult not to an-swer the question “What are you up to these days?” with a despairing sigh. But don’t fret. Donating your time — even if it’s only for a few hours a week — gives you something new to answer that question with.

One day after a rant against Pen-guins superstar Sidney Crosby, hockey analyst Mike Milbury found himself under fire.

Crosby’s agent rejected an apology from the former NHL coach and general manager, saying Milbury’s comments on Crosby’s concussions de-manded action.

“Milbury went too far this time attacking the very sensi-tive issue of the concussion,” Pat Brisson said Tuesday. “A simple apology isn’t accepted in this case.

“The real way to treat this disease is by either suspending or firing Milbury. Plain and simple.”

Milbury ripped Crosby on a Philadelphia radio station Monday, calling out the Pens captain for his role in a game-

ending line brawl Sunday be-tween the Penguins and Flyers.

He labelled Crosby “a punk” and “little goody two shoes” and also referred to “his 35th concussion.”

A day later, he apologized via a one-paragraph statement.

“I reached out to (Pittsburgh president) David Morehouse and the Penguins about the comments I made yesterday on Philadelphia radio,” Milbury said.

“In hindsight, I realize what I said was inappropriate and wrong, and I want to apologize to the Penguins organization and their fans.”

Crosby said he’s not sure what provoked Milbury’s ti-rade. The 24-year-old former MVP has been limited to 19 games over the last 15 months due to concussions.

Canada’s Glenn Howard has won in blowout fashion and had a few close calls at the world men’s curling cham-pionship.

He has come through every time and remains a fa-vourite to play for his fourth world title this weekend in Basel, Switzerland.

Howard improved his rec-ord to 7-0 Tuesday, winning a 7-6 nail-biter over Switzer-land before posting an 8-5 win over Denmark. Both opponents are playoff long shots but still gave Howard a stiff challenge ahead of upcoming games against powerhouses Sweden and Scotland.

Howard said the quality of opposition is so high at the competition that every game

is a test.“When other teams play

well, you can only do so much,” he said. “Everybody keeps thinking you’re sup-posed to blow people out. You can’t — if the other team makes a lot of shots, that’s the way it works.

“The bottom line is you just try to make one more than the next guy and get those wins.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

NHL. Kentucky team returns to adoring fans Another championship ban-ner has been unfurled at Rupp Arena.

Kentucky’s basketball team returned home to its adoring fans Tuesday, after defeating Kansas 67-59 Monday night to win the school’s eighth NCAA championship.

Blue-clad fans erupted into deafening cheers as the team pulled into the packed arena aboard a sleek blue bus em-blazoned with “national cham-pions.”

It was a joyous curtain call for a team led by a talented group of freshmen and sopho-mores. The NBA likely beckons next for several of them.

Coach John Calipari pumped his fist and raised his arms in triumph as he basked in the cheers.

“You know why we won the national title? Folks, we have

the best players and we have the best team,” he said as the crowd erupted.

The rally punctuated a rau-cous few days in Lexington as the Wildcats marched toward the national title.

After the championship game, numerous small fires were set, dozens were ar-rested and one man was wounded by gunfire as fans again filled the streets near campus. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Messi’s pair leads Barcelona to semisLionel Messi swept holder Barcelona into the Cham-pions League semifinals for the fifth successive year on Tuesday while becoming the competi-tion’s most prolific scorer in a single season.

When Hyundai wants to up-grade, it doesn’t mess around.

None of this five- or 10-horse-power stuff, or dressing it up with doilies and stickers.

In case you missed it, Hyundai’s rear-drive four-seat coupe arrived for the 2010 model year and shares the Genesis name with its big-brother four-door sedan. The

similarities end right about there, though.

While the sedan is all about cruising in style, the Coupe gets its kicks well away from the interstate, tackling two-lane back roads or, for some, smoking the tires and hanging the tail out on a closed autocross loop.

These and other activ-ities will be significantly enhanced with the spring launch of the 2013 Coupe. Its

arrival is indeed timely as this most unique Hyundai faces off against three new sporty competitors, including the front-wheel drive 2012 Mini Cooper Coupe plus the 2013 Scion FR-S and closely iden-tical Subaru BRZ, which are both rear-wheel-drivers.

All four import-based cars form part of a “thin” market where sales volumes are low compared with sedans, wag-ons and pickup trucks and

where each and every dotted-line conquest is critical.

Hyundai has bumped up the turbo Coupe’s base price by about $1,600 to $28,100, while the 3.8 GT sees a $4,000 increase to $38,600.

That makes both editions a bit less financially appeal-ing, but likely won’t dissuade rapid-transit seekers who also appreciate an attractively packaged ride and the addi-tional power.

Review. The Genesis coupe has rear-wheel drive and its V6 puts the boots to the Nissan 370Z, V6 Mustang, Camaro and Challenger

Top Gear

Trailer travels in

trunkMotorcycle or ATV trailers are handy to have around, but they take up valuable space in your driveway or garage. Or do they? Trailer in a Bag has developed a

product that weighs about 60 kilograms, will fi t inside a duff el bag and can be stored in your vehicle when not in use. When assembled (with-out tools, by the way), you can tow up to two motor-cycles or one ATV, up to a total of 2,000 pounds (910

kilograms). Options include running boards, fenders and a front-wheel chock to more

securely hold your prized two-wheeler. Prices begin at $1,195 US for single-motor-cycle models and $2,195 US

for dual units and $2,595 US for ATV carriers. Fenders sell for an extra $150. Go to trailerinabag.com for more information and to order, or

call 800-278-8387.

Zero to 60

According to Hyundai, the revitalized V6 can propel the GT to 60 m.p.h. (96 km/h) from zero in the “lower five-second range,” but the company hasn’t yet divulged times for the four-cylinder 2.0 model. The Coupe also has a more aggressive nosepiece featuring Hyundai’s open-mouth grille.

Engines

Both the base 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo and optional 3.8-litre V6 have been power-enhanced and are accompanied by all-new optional eight-speed automatic transmis-sions with manual paddle shifters.

Updated six-speed manual gearboxes are standard.

Suspension

To accommodate the added power, Hyundai’s engineers worked on the Coupe’s sus-pension. That involved re-calibrating the dampers and adding beefier anti-roll bars, but one of the cooler modi-fications is the addition of a “sound induction tube” that pipes in the exhaust notes for the enjoyment of the occupants.

The four-cylinder is up 64 horsepower to 274.

When metal gets compressed, priorities change very quickly

I’m not the first person to be driving along in perfect safety and serenity to be suddenly broadsided by another vehicle, and vaulted into that country called accident-land.

So many of you know what that feels like.

One moment you’re driving along listening to Anne Murray or Black Sabbath, and the next there’s a huge BANG. Instead of ending up where you planned, your day suddenly shifts to one populated by police, ambu-lance attendants, mangled machinery, tow trucks, wit-nesses and rental cars. A lot of cell phoning. A lot of standing around by the side of the road.

And a lot of going over the accident in your head.

Since it happened, a few months ago, I must have re-played that tape hundreds of times. I can’t remember what socks I put on this morning, but every detail of those few moments before and after im-pact are available to me any-time I want in full HD. And I’m always surprised at how much information I was able to take in during those brief moments, like the metal got compressed, and so did time.

The tape goes something like this… A vehicle suddenly appears in my left periphery… What the?… That car shouldn’t be there… What’s going on?… Slam on the brakes… BANG… Diane screaming… The Mazda 626 deflected into the ditch… Can’t believe we’re not in pain…

We were shaken, but not internally stirred.

Moments earlier we were going dead straight on a light-

ly populated two-lane in the country, mid-morning in bright sunlight, en route to Ontario’s Blue Mountain ski resort, to meet up with our friends Dave and Olga.

The car that hit us, had just turned left into our path, from a stop sign, intending to travel the same direction as us. That car’s right front fender con-tacted our left front fender.

After making sure we weren’t leaking, I ran out to yell at the other driver. I had to wait a bit. His car was veering erratically into a field, about 100 metres away from us. As soon as his car stopped, he scrambled out and ran up to us in the snow to see if we were all right. I was yelling at him most of the way.

A young guy. Said he didn’t see us.

In retrospect, I should have asked if he was all right before

yelling at him. That’s one of the things I would do differently if I had to do it over again, which I won’t. It’s booked in that line of time nobody gets to change.

A lot of friendly folk stopped to help. Everybody on the scene, including police and ambulance attendants, couldn’t have been more help-ful or concerned. When push

comes to shove, as it does in vehicle accidents, you are once again made aware of how far down the priority list are vehicles from the thing at the very top of the priority list — people.

The policeman on the scene said we were lucky. If we struck a bit earlier, we would have taken the blow by the driver’s door. If we struck a bit later, we would have run into the back of him. There was a lot of meaty metal where we got together, and each car could deflect a lot of the energy by heading off in various, non-conflicting directions.

Our car was totalled. For someone who just lost a really decent car that I liked a lot, and would be really hard to replace at its going rate, I felt pretty good. Everyone, including me, was walking around, alive. Be-ing alive is good.

Driving Force. Timing belt? Timing chain? You need to know!

Your car’s engine contains hundreds of moving parts, all of which must be synchron-ized to run properly. That in-cludes the valves, which use either a timing chain or timing belt — and it’s important to know which one your engine uses.

While a chain is virtually maintenance-free, a timing belt should be changed at a predetermined mileage as a preventative measure.

Engines contain pistons that move up and down, turn-ing a crankshaft to produce a spinning motion that eventu-ally turns the wheels. The pis-tons are powered by gasoline.

The fuel comes in and the exhaust escapes through valves, which open and close via contact with a camshaft. The timing chain/belt runs be-tween the crankshaft and cam-shaft, turning the camshaft at exactly the right speed. It’s hid-den behind a cover; the rubber belt you see when you open the hood is not the timing belt.

Whether it’s a belt or chain depends on the model and the manufacturer.

“We don’t use timing belts anymore,” says Rob Murdoch, national manager of technical services for Mazda Canada.

“There’s a shift (in the in-dustry) from belts to chains be-cause they tend to last longer.”

Timing belts, which are made from rubber and fibre, became popular because they are quieter and weigh less than metal chains — important as automakers shave grams off components for improved fuel

economy. But they do eventu-ally wear out and can break. If this happens, the engine won’t run.

On some higher-compres-sion engines, the valves and pistons have such tight toler-ances that a broken belt could result in the parts crashing together, creating serious en-gine damage.

These so-called “interfer-ence” engines are also be-coming more common as automakers work to improve efficiency, but they’re now more likely to use a chain.

“That’s another reason why manufacturers are shifting from belts to chains,” Murdoch says. “Consumers have con-cerns about the cost of main-tenance.”

Depending on the vehicle, the recommended time to change a timing belt is any-where from about 90,000 to 150,000 km — before it breaks.

It can be a pricey repair on many models, since it’s hard to access and requires a lot of time.

If you’re not sure what type your car has, ask the dealer-ship, or look in the mainten-ance section of the owner’s manual to see if it’s mentioned.

Timing chains tend to last longer than timing belts. Jil Mcintosh/for Metro

Two birds, one stone

• During timing belt replace-ment, you may be asked about replacing the water pump, too. You’re not being ripped off. Water pumps wear out also, and since it has to be removed to reach the belt and you’re already paying for that labour, it’s relatively cheaper to get it all done at once.

Racing with reality

A hockey player has his stick and his skates to slice the ice. A sprinter has his cleats to put the power to the track. A swimmer needs goggles, nose plugs and cap for a sprint of another kind. And a tennis pro’s racquet has to have just the right sweet spot.

For these sports, it’s not a lot of specialized hardware, especially when compared to auto racing.

It takes millions of dollars of equipment and technical expertise to race professional-ly and keep the wheels rolling all year, from track to track. There’s support staff, pit crews, logistics, private jets, jumbo jets, giant car haulers and tires and fuel. Lots of tires and fuel ... and engines.

In Formula One, for ex-ample, yearly budgets run in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

That’s obviously on the top end of the scale, but it’s extravagant corporate spend-ing and consumption for a sport that seems to have such a narrow scope of purpose. And this begs the question: is racing relevant at all, or is it merely wasteful, socially irresponsible and all about ego-stroking a select group of mischievous playboys?

NASCAR, for example, only this year adopted fuel

injection over carburetion and it still uses four-speed manual transmissions and V8 engines. That was fine in the 1960s, but production “stock” cars today run four-cylinder engines and anywhere from six- to eight speeds in their transmissions.

You know the rapidly tightening government regulations that target auto-makers to clean up their tail-pipes? The same legislation that’s changing the very cars we drive? It has no impact or relevance here.

Sure, racing can be excit-ing — at times — to watch, but if one of the many justi-fications for this conspicu-ous consumption is relevant engineering that transfers to production cars to make them more durable, safer and more efficient, then where is it?

For that to happen, ra-cing’s rules need to encourage

experimentation and not ser-ies after series where all cars are practically identical.

One automaker that’s pushing that envelope is Audi. Its new lightweight R18 e-tron endurance racer uses a V6 turbo-diesel and a fly-wheel hybrid system that the company says it wants to test in upcoming Audi road cars. A similar system is in play with Porsche’s racing cars, but the R18 is the first such hybrid to use a diesel. Racing that con-nects with reality seems to be the goal.

“Audi has always con-sciously selected champion-ships and categories in racing that have a close relationship to production and therefore have technical relevance for the Audi customers,” says Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich, head of Audi Motorsport. “Quattro, TFSI and TDI are three excel-lent examples of how motor-

sport has stimulated produc-tion development. A similar tendency is apparent with the e-tron quattro: we test a completely new technology on the race track before it’s introduced to the Audi pro-duction line.”

When the driver applies the brakes of the e-tron, elec-tricity is generated to spin up a small flywheel. At the push of a button (above 120 km/h), the flywheel is braked to cre-ate electricity for the elec-tric motors driving the front wheels. The diesel engine drives the rear wheels. Al-though the system is designed to create an extra shot of ac-celeration coming off corners, the burst is limited as the fly-wheel slows.

In a road car, the system could mean going with a smaller engine while main-taining safe levels of accelera-tion for overtaking and mer-ging, without using expensive battery packs that negatively impact vehicles with their bulk and weight.

The R18 e-tron makes its competition debut at a six-hour endurance race in Bel-gium and will compete at the 24 hours of Le Mans endur-ance race in France in June. And that’s where you’ll also find one of the most unique racing machines of all time: the Deltawing, a.k.a. the Bat-mobile ... obviously.

The comic-book-looking project is intended to show the world that a car, with no rules placed on it, can be as quick — or nearly as quick — as the top contenders in the field but with half the weight, half the power and half the tire and fuel consumption.

It looks like a movie car, but the DeltaWing is no prop. With most of the weight over the rear wheels, the front tires bear less of the turning load while cornering. The front tires are only 10 centi-metres wide — barely the width of a motorcycle tire — and placed a couple of feet apart. This provides the bul-let-nose profile that the team says cuts aerodynamic drag by half. The body is made from carbon fibre and the engine is a turbocharged 1.6-litre gaso-line four-cylinder supplied by Nissan, which joined princi-

pals Dan Gurney, Don Panoz and Highcroft Racing, all of whom are experienced racers.

“As motor-racing rule books have become tighter over time, racing cars look more and more similar and the technology used has had less and less relevance to road-car development,” said Andy Palmer, Executive Vice President of Nissan.

Relevant racing? That’s up to the rule makers, it seems. The DeltaW-ing will not com-pete at Le Mans, but will run the event as an experimental vehicle with the num-ber “0.” If it fares well, it could help shape fu-ture cars.

“All of the stuff we learn from this project we are going to be able to cross into r o a d - c a r d e v e l o p -m e n t , ” said Dar-ren Cox, genera l m a n -a g e r , N i s s a n Europe.

I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky (and the roads too)

Flying cars aren’t just sci-ence fiction anymore.

Woburn, Mass.-based Terrafugia Inc. said Mon-day that its prototype flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the com-pany closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle — dubbed the Transition — has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car.

Last month, it flew at 1,400 feet for eight min-utes. Commercial jets fly at 35,000 feet.

Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia intro-duces the Transition to the public this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s ex-pected to cost $279,000.

And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.

The flying car has always had a special place in the American imagination. In-ventors have been trying to make them since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry analyst who owns R.W. Mann & Co. in Port Washington, N.Y.

But Mann thinks Terra-fugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying

car a reality. The govern-ment has already granted the company’s request to use special tires and glass that are lighter than normal automotive ones, to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The government has also temporarily exempted the Transition from the require-ment to equip vehicles with electronic stability control, which would add about six pounds to the vehicle. The Transition is currently go-ing through a battery of automotive crash tests to make sure it meets federal

safety standards.Mann said Terrafugia was

helped by the Federal Avi-ation Administration’s deci-sion five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft. The standards govern the size and speed of the plane and licensing requirements for pilots, which are less re-strictive than requirements for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of

flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a relatively low hurdle for pilots.

The Transition can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air, spokesman Steven Moscaritolo said. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of automotive fuel and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.

Mann questions the size of the market for the Tran-sition. The general aviation market has been in decline for two decades, he said, largely because of fuel costs and the high cost of liabil-ity for manufacturers. Also, fewer people are learning how to fly.

“This is not going to be an inexpensive aircraft to produce or market,” he said. “It has some unique-ness, and will get some sales, but the question is, could it ever be a profitable enterprise?”

Mann sees the western U.S. as the most likely mar-ket, where people could fly instead of driving long dis-tances.

Terrafugia has been working on flying cars since 2006, and has already pushed back the launch once. Last summer the com-pany said it would have to delay expected 2011 deliv-eries due to design challen-ges and problems with parts suppliers.

With the appearance in New York, the company hopes to attract the eye of customers as well as invest-ors.

“We are introducing our-selves as a viable company to the automotive world,” Moscaritolo said.the associated press

‘Flawless?’ Some 911 owners think so

Common Issues

As with any high performance vehicle, parts and labour are pricey. Even changing tires and struts will run well into the thousands. Reports of leaky engine seals and niggling elec-trical issues have been made, so a full mechanical checkup and inspection of all on-board features should be considered mandatory. Note that reports of engine failure on ear-lier models in this generation aren’t uncommon. Apparently warped heads or a bad block design were to blame. An extended powertrain warranty isn’t a bad idea, if available.

Seek a Porsche mechanic’s opinion as to whether or not the vehicle has been abused or neglected, and question any signs of excessive wear and unusual noises.

Verdict

The pleasure of driving a 911 should outweigh the po-tential costs — but don’t let your guard down when shop-ping. Patience and research are key to success here.

Most buy the Porsche 911 for its performance, heritage, rich racing history, and for the status implied by its badge.

Delivery of a high-style, high-status and high-per-formance driving experience is part of the package.

The so-called “997” generation of this machine was available from 2005 to 2008, inclusive. It’s a unique and celebrated sports car, but certainly not one for every buyer’s budget.

What Owners Dislike

Complaints are minor, though they mainly

deal with limited trunk and rear seat space, and expen-sive factory options.

What Owners Like

Everyday usability, performance, style,

status and practicality are all highly rated by 911 owners. Fuel mileage and relative comfort are other positives. Descriptors like “flawless” or “perfect” come up frequently in owners forums.

Engine

Look for rear-mounted flat-six engines on all

models, ranging from 325 to 530 horsepower, depending on the model selected. Automatic or manual transmission were available, as were rear or all-wheel drive.
